Holes in grids or clusters can be achieved on state-of-the-art CNC glass drilling equipment.

These wide-ranging glass drilling and other glass fabrication capabilities are why so many customers with highly specialized product needs rely on Cat-i Glass.

Beveling

Beveling is a machining process using diamond based tooling to grind angled surfaces into the glass. Our machinery can place a precision bevel onto circles, rectangles or shaped glasses and at any angle according to your specification.

Sawing

Sawing is a precision method to fabricate glass to size using diamond saw blades. Tighter tolerances can be held along with finer finished edges over traditional glass cutting, improving the overall quality of the finished product. Along with flat glass, this is the method we utilize to fabricate glass tubing and rod to size. Our machinery includes CNC saws capable of accurately sawing glass substrates down to 0.2mm in thickness.
